Tama Hochbaum has recently opened a multifaceted exhibition at the Contemporary Art Museum (CAM) in Raleigh, North Carolina. The work and exhibition are a beautiful tribute to the natural world and to the reverence of nature. Each unique piece artfully celebrates and examines her connection to the the woods where she often walks.  She is physically rooted in many of the pieces, allowing us to stand and contemplate, as she states, the “notion of watching oneself watching time pass.”

In this project I have documented the final years of my Grandmother’s life as she was suffering from a degenerative brain disease. The images were made during moments of conversation, gesture, and experiences of death. The variety of photographic approaches towards the subjects are representative of a frantic need to record all aspects of my knowledge of her (whether performative or candid) in a hopes that these moments could be pieced together again, attempting to construct a more accurate portrait of how I would remember her. My Grandmother and I had a tumultuous relationship, never thoroughly understood, and missed connections of tastes and values flourished throughout our entire lives. Looking back on this project, the photographs reveal a deeper language we had been sharing for years, constituted of mutual vulnerability and trust, acted upon even in death.

can’t be the only L.A. resident who, when leaving home for a walk—to the grocery store, to the dry cleaner, to Runyon Canyon—finds herself recalling the chorus of the Missing Persons song ”Walking in L.A.,” from 1982. Its key lyric—“Nobody walks in L.A.”—is not exactly true (although, when I first moved here, I was seized by panic and unable to cross the four lanes of traffic at the intersection of La Cienega and Sunset Boulevards, despite the glowing pedestrian man signalling my right of way). Tourists stroll down Hollywood Boulevard, squatting for photos with the Walk of Fame; selfie-stick wielders step staccato past the shiny storefronts of Rodeo Drive, attempting to get their designer bags in the same frame as the designer’s sign. One of the best ways to experience the rapidly changing area of downtown Los Angeles is to walk a mile-long stretch of South Broadway, from the “We Buy Gold” shops to the Ace Hotel. The city’s expanding metro-rail system—more than a hundred million people rode L.A.’s trains last year—means that people are finding new places to hang out and ways to get around that do not mandate time on the freeway.

New Jersey photographer Matthew Dempsey used to live in Hoboken in New Jersey, a city across the Hudson River from Manhattan. After fifteen years of looking across the water at “the city that never sleeps”, he and his wife decided to leave all that behind.

The long-rumored Nikon Coolpix P1000 camera is finally officially announced. As previously reported, the new model has a 125x zoom lens (24-3000mm f/2.8-8), 4K UHD video, 16MP sensor, 7 fps, 5-stops VR and RAW files support!

On June 11, 2018, another head scratching decision came out of the Eastern District of Virginia, one that has the potential to seriously erode the copyright protections afforded photographers.

While women account for 85% of consumer purchasing power, they are woefully underrepresented behind the camera, creating the images behind entertainment and advertising campaigns. Male photographers account for 90% of the commercial work – a disparity fueled by the “boys club” mentality that is out of step with the times.

Photographer Jill Greenberg decided to address the issue head on with the creation of Alreadymade, an online director of women photographers, which she launched in tandem with a TEDx Talk titled “The Female Lens.” Here, Greenberg shines a light on the gender gap in the photography industry and the ways in which it reshapes the way we see the world.

Brammer sued Violent Hues Productions in 2017 for unauthorized use of a time-lapse photograph of the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington, DC. Violent Hues, which organizes the annual Northern Virginia Film Festival, used Brammer’s photo on a website intended to provide festival attendees with information about lodging, transportation, and things to do in the northern Virginia/Washington D.C. area.

For its Latin American Foto Festival, the Bronx Documentary Center is again sharing photography with the community it calls home.
